NEW YORK, May 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Africa Growth Corporation (OTC: AFGC), herein after referred to as "Africa Growth," today announced the launch of its new website: www.AfricaGrowthCorp.com. The purpose of the site launch is to provide information about Africa Growth's important activities in the nascent sub-Saharan mortgage markets, including its plans to create Mortgage Acceptance Corporations ("MACs") for country-specific housing markets in the region. Africa Growth's country-specific MACs will channel both equity and debt funding from Wall Street to sub-Saharan markets where mortgage capital is either scarce or largely nonexistent, thereby unlocking attractive opportunities for the capital markets, as well as contributing to access to mortgages to millions of people in the region.

"The website gives further insight into the market opportunity to earn attractive rates of return while simultaneously improving the quality of life in the region by providing affordable mortgages to creditworthy families," said Christopher Darnell, Chairman and CEO, Africa Growth Corporation.

Africa Growth estimates that there is currently a shortage in excess of 100 million homes in the sub-Saharan African region because of a lack of mortgage finance. This represents an investment opportunity of approximately $2 trillion today. Only about 2 percent of sub-Saharan African families have mortgages. Furthermore, sub-Saharan Africa has the fastest growing population in the world, which means the demand for mortgages is growing every day.

Namibia MAC, the first Mortgage Acceptance Corporation established by Africa Growth, is working with Wall Street investment banks to launch an initial tranche of up to $250,000,000 of exchange-listed bonds. Namibia has maintained an investment-grade sovereign credit rating according to Moody's and Fitch since 2005.
